And America says goodbye to democracy.

I like how he described this decision as a consequence of the legal alchemy that occurred in the late 19th century. That was due to the cynical use of new laws that protected blacks after emancipation.

You can now see precisely why Obama's decision to try and get healthcare (for the 47+ million souls who don't have it/can't get it/are denied it) sorted out in that benighted country just became more urgent.

Through this SCOTUS decision, it rather looks like the US just opted to obviate the need for individual voters - after all, in terms of a paying electorate, they don't pay or contribute any where near as much as Big Money.

And as with all far-reaching decisions like this, any attempt to reverse it (a cure) will be twice as bad as prevention.
